Plot Concept: Aoi Mashiro, who has been a high school student for six months, came to an antique store Kura in Teramachi Sanjou shopping street to estimate an antique item owned by her late grandfather. The appraiser there is good-looking, elegant, and polite, but is very sharp to the extent that he has a nickname Holmes, and he immediately realized that she brought the antique without letting her family know. Kiyotaka suggested Aoi, who is in need of money no matter what, to work in Kura as a part-timer. Since that day, Aoi experienced various incidents around Kyoto with the antiques.
